Kristi and Kyle gathered in Upper Bidwell Park for their fall family portrait session.  This was their first fall portraits as a family of five.  Their younger daughter joyously entered into their family earlier this year.  As you can see from their pictures, she is well-loved!  Kristi and Kyle are neighborhood friends, but Kyle is also a brother-in-law to my sister-in-law.  It is easier to just say “family”.  It is always fun to photograph their sweet family.  You can view Kristi and Kyle’s previous maternity sessions here and here.

We were able to capture an abundant amount of picture combinations during our time together.  With the newest family member now in the picture (no pun intended), she allowed for some beautiful mommy and me pictures; and the sibling pictures just would not have been the same without her in there.  She found her foot, and she wanted to chew on it!  My son, Yogi, found some of his precious Pokemon cards and wanted to reward Kristi and Kyle’s son for a good session.  This then led to Fish gifting a couple of her Shopkins to their older daughter.  Everyone was all smiles when they learned that they had surprises waiting for them.

Kristi and Kyle, it is always a joy to spend the afternoon with your family.  You all always do an amazing job, and your babies have cutest smiles.  It is fun to see everyone interact together and the special relationships you all have together.  It is fun to see each of the children’s interactions when they are one-on-one with you for their pictures, and there are some extra cuddles and kisses shared.  The latest addition to your family makes me smile, and I could hold her all day! I am so excited for you to see some of my many favorites from your first fall portrait session as a family of five!
